16 HP PhotoSmart S20 Photo Scanner Basics
Inserting and Scanning Photographs
You insert and scan mounted film, film strips, prints, and small prints and paper
clippings in different ways with the S20 photo scanner. Please refer to the appropriate
subsection for the photographic format you wish to scan.
Inserting and Scanning Mounted Film
To scan mounted film with the S20 photo scanner, your mounted film must be:
• A 35 mm, single-frame slide or negative mounted in a paper or plastic mount.
The mount must not be more than 1.8 mm thick.
• Clean and dust-free. (See the online help for information on cleaning mounted
film.)
• Inserted with a short side pointing into the photo insertion slot and with the
emulsion side down. (The emulsion side is dull compared to the shiny base side.)
Note: You cannot scan an unmounted or a glass-mounted, single-frame slide or
negative in the photo scanner. (You can scan multiple-frame film strips,
however. See the next subsection.)
To insert and scan your mounted film, follow these steps:
1. Press the Photo Format button on the photo scanner until the photo insertion slot
is set properly for mounted film, as shown in “Setting the Photo Scanner for the
Photographic Format” on page 13.
2. Hold the mounted film by its mounting with the emulsion side down. (The
emulsion side is dull compared to the shiny base side.)
Notice that mounted film has
short sides and long sides.
